Generational Studies

Generational Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, economic, and political behaviors and characteristics of different generations. It focuses on understanding how historical events, technological advancements, and social changes influence values, attitudes, and behaviors among specific age cohorts. Researchers in this field analyze the differences and similarities between generations, typically defined by a specific range of birth years, such as Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. The studies explore aspects such as identity formation, consumer habits, political engagement, and interpersonal relationships across different generations. By identifying patterns and trends, Generational Studies aims to provide insights into how generational experiences shape individual and collective identities, affecting social dynamics and societal development over time.
